A Little Thought I Picked Up From A Conversation With A Friend.

Charles Bukowski, "no title," from What Matters Most is How Well You Walk through the Fire

I bet you rue the day you kissed the writer in the dark,

Now she's gonna play and sing and lock you in her heart.

- Writer in the dark, Lorde.

Why can't friendships be just about having a good time together?Sometimes it's the circumstances or it's people simply changing but for a while you were understood, someone laughed along at your stupid joke and someone could relate to you. Why isn't that enough and so when it's time to leave, we leave without the promise of forever because we already lived forever in those moments.

I really try to have my love be a fire. Not just a little spark no. I want to engulf you in love. I want you to feel the warmth on your worst days. I want to ignite you with love. A love you can feel, a love you can taste, making it tangible, something you can wrap yourself in when everything else in your world is falling apart and you have no where else to turn or you will be spinning. I want to ground you with love. Something to sooth your wandering mind. Something you don’t have to search for or ask for i give it to you freely. Without strings or expectations. Without anything but tender pure raw love for you.

Attacked.

I like art that depicts women not posing seductively or gracefully but simply existing as human beings.

To my future wife,

We're gonna have so much fun together.

Maybe we'll be shoving each other when we're brushing our teeth.

Maybe we'll be chasing each other through the backyard.

And then you trip and fall and we're both laughing together and then you look up and the sun's shining right behind my head.

You kiss me.

Because you're grateful.

And no, I don't look forward to it for the sex and the physicality of it.

I look forward to it so I can brush the hair off your eyes every morning when we wake up.

I look forward to it so I can bring you coffee and burnt toast in bed and you pretending like it's a gourmet meal.

I look forward to it so I can say "I love you" every single night because there's no one else I'd rather share the moon and the stars with.

Yeah literally just put a ring on me the first time itself, I'll say yes🖐️🙄

I’d like to wish all tall lanky boys with messy hair a very I love you please marry me evening.
